[@calendulaofficinalis7303]

Really appreciate the anti-panic message of this video. Thank you for a reasonable assesment based on an actual testing :) :)

[@mrsonor1090]

Hi Deltia. I like when ppl find some off-meta so I went for this instead of Storm ( I have storm too but haven't made it ready, like glyphs and traits), the Grave Inevitability from Graven Deep. I know, it's not medium, just light, but I like the stats on it. Have a look, please. Take care and have a nice day now. Thanks for all your work on videos for us. Best regards from Sweden.

[@Necromancer01]

Using Grave on my OakenDen arena build. Hits real hard, it just works.

[@naplzt4k]

it's basically the light version of kinra but with force instead of berserk so it's only good if you have high crit chance which the 1 bar sorc doesn't have

[@NaiyaBladesinger]

as a new player to the game there's a lot of things I don't understand but that's why I am so glad I found your channel. you explain things in a way that is very accessible to new players. I don't have an Oakensoul build, don't know if I ever will, but I learned a lot just by watching. thanks for sharing.

[@MikeMyers-u9q]

So I started playing ESO recently after watching how much fun Delita's "One bar heavy attack god solo the game" builds and "Plaguebreak AoE farming god" builds were.... I have been playing for a few weeks and managed to finally get my oakensoul ring and all the items in the correct slots / research all the correct traits so that I can reforge the items properly...... I then saved all my gold and materials to make all the items gold tier in quality and I was having a blast for the past maybe three days......Now I see that they're nerfing the plaguebreak set so that it cannot be used in PvE....and are also nerfing the sets I use into the crust of the earth.......there is no reason for me to play anymore.... I literally spent every second since I first made my account building towards this point just to have the rug pulled out from under my feet....... Now I can see the argument that I can just spend the next few weeks with the new trendy build.....but then what..... then zenimax nerfs that set into the ground? So then I try the next trend.... then they nerf that into the ground?

[@Deltiasgaming]

Pretty much yeah

[@oultrox8275]

Isn't the point of this video to tell you that your build is still viable tho?

[@munster1404]

You forgot 5x light armor is required for magicka shields for classes that lack one. Soloing dungeons also means I will be in melee range 100% of the time. So Noble Duelist or 5x crafted light Order’s Wrath might be more useful than medium Storm Master.

[@DucktacularEvents]

13:10 you say the 2x max stamina of undaunted infiltrator doesn't do anything for us, but doesn't heavy attack damage scale of your highest stats so you could maybe respec into a stamina build then those 2x max stamina would be very useful. You'd still have plenty of magicka for your abilities due to the resources you get back from heavy attacking with a lightning staff. I may be wrong but just a thought...

[@mjlee8013]

With hybridization staves scale with your higher rescources, so I'm going to try Undaunted Infiltrator with Sergant's Mail and Oaken Soul on max stamina sorc build. Edit: I have tried Undaunted Infilitrator (with max stamina), Deadly, and Order's Wrath. All are 8-10k dps worse than Storm Master. Gotta farm Noble Duelist now to try it ;/

[@jmartinez5638]

Noble duelist is comparable to storm master, just realize that you are going to be well overpen on the parse dummy because it's a hair under completely armor stripped. Might want to run tests on the 3M, that'll give a better idea on comparing what you can do in solo/4 man

[@suckingdickisthemostfunagi957]

How’s noble duelist feel?

[@TheVioletBunny]

Nobel duelist is better in content and basic dummy parse. On trial dummy storm masters does better but still parses like dogshit now and hits like a wet noodle. Basically this build was turned into a solo only build with Nobel duelist and storm masters was turned into pieces of armor to deconstruct.

[@iuppiterr]

13:50 The oakensoul provides minor slayer already so this 3 piece is even more useless than stam reg 😂

[@individual116]

Came here to say this

[@jarldesang4528]

"Huge 3 piece" for an oakensoul build lol

[@Mystra]

Not to mention he's completely wrong about light armor, not running light armor as a magicka dps is dumb. Sacrificing all those resources for 10% crit dmg is ridiculous.

[@iuppiterr]

@@Mystra You dont need the regeneration of light armor because ever heavy attack gives you mana back anyways

[@Mystra]

@Iuppiterr I know that but you don't need the medium either and you have to sacrifice other stuff to get the pen without light armor. Best set up is by far 5 light 1 heavy 1 med

[@raynekain191]

Really hope it doesn't go through or they regress the nerf a little

[@XZ27977]

Deltia, very articulate and well done video. Everything was expertly explained. Thank you.

[@Deltiasgaming]

Thank you

[@angelmorales9781]

Honestly Empower is/was not the issue. The single target damage was not on par with two bar builds Looking at parses 107k on a HA sorc vs parses of 125-133k on all classes that run two bar that’s still a 20-30% gap. If anything they should’ve raised the damage of empower but looked at scaling back tri-focus and left storm master alone.

[@dontblockmedk]

Exactly right, there was NO issue with this setup except being way less powerful than 2 bar. Even the AOE effect isn't an issue because you are sacrificing a full back bar of AOEs just to get a bit of shock splash damage. You are right if anything it should be buffed.

[@Siberiasun2]

on undaunted the stamina doesn't technically give you any damage stats, but it does allow more breathing room for dodges or break frees so it's not a terrible stat to have :D

[@memitim171]

In theory yes, but really I never run out of stamina on this build and you don't need potions so you are free to use stamina pots if you need the extra so in reality it is a worthless stat.

[@json9069]

I'm using an Oak/HA Temp build with these gear sets, so I really appreciate the cool-headed analysis and the time you took to work this out. Thanks Deltia.

[@irishsage2459]

Might try Elegance instead of Storm Master for mag sorc and see how that goes...

[@genrukin]

I love Eso its a great game but i just hate the way they keep nerfing things it makes the game feel like a beta its a mythic ring it should be powerful. It doesnt need nerfs. Plus it helps those less fortunate to be able to get through trials.

[@RonTakeOne]

Have you tested switching out Storm Master's with Grave Inevitability which would stack alongside Sergant's and provides Major Force to compliment Oakensoul's Minor Force?

[@nodders6830]

I'm glad it's not hurt Oakensoul that much . I've been playing for 2 years , never done a trial , done 1 vet and was told my damage was crap on the last boss , I was dead the whole time lol . And I only ever do the lower dungeons and no DLC's I believe . The reason is I have arthritis and it affects my hands so Oakensoul has been a blessing , it's just too much for me to swap bars and have another 5 buttons to mash . If Oakensoul came to a point where it was unplayable I would probably have to stop playing , so glad it's not that bad .

[@pjtrant]

how many times are they gonna nerf this thing?

[@LostHorizons0]

As many times as the gatekeepers cry

[@CowetaGaming]

Lets be honest here... Outside of fully optimized groups no one is choosing to wear Alkosh. You might as well go Noble Duelist vs Storm Master even in most group content.

[@bradfordhatt555]

Deltia thanks for this informative video. The Oakensoul build is my go to build, so any and all info is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@jmartinez5638]

Luckily i have a full golded out set of duelist sitting in the bank. Storm masters not popping off is already noticeable and being over pen is not really a problem, you're not even going over that much and thats assuming everyone else youre relying on are doing their jobs well.

[@LTHEGRIFFTAH]

It doesn't matter what u do or what gear u have it's about how fast ur fingers move for damage that's why ppl have bad dps with the exact build an expert has

[@jackflash6377]

Deltia in damage control mode... The whiners won. If it's such a small and insignificant change, why did they make it? Why go to the trouble? Either you're not telling us everything or there is another reason. The actual decrease in damage is 5.56%. Not 10%... if you do the math. 70% damage increase vs 80% damage increase = 5.56% lower total damage.

[@whiskeyclone9480]

what was his overall damage on the pts parse vs live?

[@pklemming]

Yes and no, regarding light/med armour. In optimised groups, certain light sets are still used. Runecarver on Oax HM, for example. Obviously, you would never use RC on a HA Oaken build.

[@capugliani]

when something is good... they try fk things up, well...well... well

[@siniister710]

Nerdtastic fun. Thanks! I enjoyed the comparisons of sets w stormmasters.

[@frlouis3266]

I think Necrom will be skipped by many and the new class bought with crowns when it becomes available. It's the first major DLC I will NOT be buying since I've started playing 5 years ago. Enough is enough.

[@wasteland-werewolf]

Thanks for explaining this Deltia. I can already see all the elitist babies still crying that it still needs nerfed. However, since I suffer from severe carpal tunne ( only play support due to this)...I will still be able to play as a competent DPS without being carried so I am happy.

[@reaper4life66]

[@pimpster122]

I’m still looking forward to June 20 for high isle to be available to eso plus on PSNA. I think Oakensoul will pair good with Magblade, vamp stage 4. Probably Pariah as second 5 piece.

[@Wyr_111]

I just use OakenSoul on my Sorc tank, so wasn't doing much damage anyways😂

[@memitim171]

It's not accurate to say the pen from light is worthless because you aren't getting 18.2k pen for free on anything but a dummy, just over 9k is basically free because all tanks will run pierce (+the 700 from CP) but the rest comes with opportunity cost, the sets that are providing the rest of the pen can be swapped out for other sets if all your dps wear light and the crit dmg from medium can be picked up elsewhere.

[@phagex4255]

This. Plus SM still procs from critical hit. changing mundus to lover and trait to sharpened, you lower your crit chance and proc SM even less. With 5 sec uptime, that is a mistake. Another point: you keep talking about trial conditions, but many ppl run HA dps trial groups where you don't necessarily have alkosh at all. So, hitting pene cap is not that obvious in every scenario. Every HA trial groups know this already

[@jasonbriggs6839]

Because in Cyrodiil, the cleave from targeting NPCs is glitching to work on players as if they are NPCs in the full effect of the cleave.

[@TheWanderingHuman]

Quick question, I leaned into the hybrid advantage with Oakensoul, on my Imperial, by going ahead and just going with Stamina --- since my damage scales off the highest, in this case stamina, and my heavy attacks ensure I have more than enough magic to always have uptime on any magic skill I use.... would Undaunted Infiltrator be a better build on that?

[@armandoybanez3721]

Love the sorc 1 bar build thank you

[@myek-1171]

Thank you for the detailed video. HA Oakensoul builds have been a game changer for a lot of people. Do you think we will see any other nerfs affecting HA builds?

[@LostHorizons0]

100 % the crybabies will continue to cry until the items for this build are all rendered useless.

[@jbendera]

10 percent didn't worry me much in p38, but what did is the removal of plaguebreak from pve. It seems lazy not to adjust set, for instance, stopping chain domino effect, but worse, it sets a bad precedent. As you showed, sets can be nerfed and yet are still viable with adjustments.

[@Janingham]

I bought and transmuted plaguebreak golden jewelries few weeks ago, now i wanna drink bleach and die

[@whiskeyclone9480]

@@Janingham hopefully they will further adjust and make the change only apply to pvp. they can do this by tethering it to battle spirit

[@aguile]

Going stamina wouldn't be better? All benefits from medium armor, HA will make sure you'll never run out of Magicka for your dot's and you will have plenty of stamina to roll/dodge/block/dance....

[@kch7964]

thanks for the breakdown on my favorite oaken build...

[@versechorusverse9000]

Does Sergeant's Mail and Noble Duelist affect Overload? I rarely see it as an ultimate for a HA build but it could be very powerful if sets buffed it.

[@ChaosUdk]

About Arcanist i think HackTheMinotaur made an OK one bar build, and i saw someone pars about 128k on trial dummy i think it was. (I cant remember the content creator for the high pars and if its a fake.) It was Skinny Cheeks commenting a pars from Kortekk

[@JC-QWERT]

If i get 5% dmg in dungeons with infallible set but have oakensoul on (which gives minor slayer 5%dungdmg)does it give me a 10% increase or make the set useless?

[@Lucius_MILFoy1254]

Hi, Deltia, what is the name of the addon that shows all those advanced stats crit/pen?

[@p0tat0_xo]

Deltia, do you have any advice for a alternative to Storm Master for pvp?

[@TonganJedi]

I'll be curious to know why they nerfed the SM set. Was PvP the problem?

[@dontblockmedk]

Exactly, WHY is this actually happening?

[@ImPoStier]

I just got an ad for eso pvp? Have I missed something or are they still not doing any updates for pvp are new servers even out yet for consoles? I haven’t really been keeping up with the game too much

[@frlouis3266]

Why further pick on Oakensoul though? Zenimax is so incredibly petty. Picking on a niche category of players who use heavy attack builds. It wasn't impacting on the game in any significant way, it just gave a small category of people a little bit of joy in still playing a game that's already bleeding players. The only class that's truly somewhat op with this build is the sorc, the rest are weak and soon to become worthless as an Oakensoul build, and I've tried them all. Why? Why shit on your players? How about we skip your latest chapter Zenimax? The Arcanist looks and performs pretty bad anyway. How about we wait to buy it with crowns that we bought with in game currency and not real money. Keep treating us like shit and people will eventually stop paying you.

[@kubekzpiciem]

Is there a build for oaken where you can use two hander instead of lightning staff?

[@irishsage2459]

The reason lightning staff is used is because of off balance uptime. I suppose if you use dizzy swing with a lightning glyph you might proc off balance more reliably.

[@memitim171]

Well yes, it just isn't particularly good because the channel from lighting is a large portion of the damage from this build.

@@Wintarh you are comparing Usain Bolt to the average player who is not performing like that.

Question to the unlauteren infiltrieren set: if you would spec into full stamina, wouldnt your HA scale of your max stamina aswell, making the set even more viable than you stated in the video and making it maybe even stronger than storm master? Did you test that aswell?

[@individual116]

Everyone has tested this and they keep going back to storm master

[@Marqnificent]

Can anyone say "DAMAGE CONTROL" 🤣

[@mandanabun3717]

I was wondering if deadly strike works with resto and lighting heavy attacks since they are considered channeling. And if so why is no one useing that set with the templars. Why not drop the storm master for deadly and also utilize the radiant destruction morphs? Just wondering if anyone has tried this setup instead. Im assuming its due to damage not being enough but without actually testing it... it kind of seems like a no brainer if the HA's work with deadly. And just to be clear keep everything the same except for swaping storms with deadly. And maybe slotting thaumaturge and deadly aim in cp.

It's just a 2D lame game AND the WORST PAY TO WIN GAME EVER. 5) wait until Xmass to notice that all you did prior ALL YEAR LONG is going down the drain with all the Xmass goodies.=( then people usually quit after Xmass) The game gets old and you opponents are whales your friends are whales and they kick and rage about anything like most whales do.

This is a PVE buff *Empower* so why nerf it? 80% increased damage vs monsters/NPC. I’m a PVP so I only like it vs guards. As to Oakensoul I use it but I hate being forced to choose it. Why a nightblade can’t get half the back bar buffs as OS gives always on. Only 6 skills? I swap out as a situation presents. Buffing uses resources that OS doesn’t. It means I can fight with zero downtime. 2bar it’s 20s then rebuff mindlessly with zero gain. Major resolve always on priceless.

[@Mystra]

For magicka builds, 5 piece light armor is a must. And still very viable. You also don't need 2 sets with proc. You can do seregant and new moon acolyte set. There's alot of resources light armor give other than just pen. I will actually perform better with sergeant and new moon as a magicka sorcerer. Also the math been done and it's only actually between 2 and 4% despite what it says. Anyway, no need to abandon light armor. I dont know where you got that from but it's just wrong.

No but the dramatic decrease in uptime on storm master is fairly significant, in theory if you run over 50% crit the uptime should be very high but RNG can really fuck you here and while its unlikely you will go 4 heavy attacks without a proc it can and will happen, probably when you need the damage the most. 😆
